CAn i ask what app did you use to design them??? we're getting married at Christmas but as everyeone else here has said, the design of your is beautiful, clean elegant different, would love to have something (clean/elegant) for christmas...umm

and thanks very much sadlier86/december2012 for your kind comments - we are delighted with them too and havin' sent them out to our guests now we are getting great feedback and they have caused quite the stir...everyone getting excited even though it's not til next march

And no it's not cheeky sadlier86 I'd be delighted to help!! the site I used to source the heart is http://eu.fotolia.com - it is an online stock photography site I used the illustration/vector search (you can just check these in a drop down menu) rather than trawling through loads of photographs. - Hope this helps.

your is beautiful, clean elegant different,

Thanks Dec2012 this is exactly what we were aiming for...so glad you said different
I didn't use an app per say - As I work in the print design industry I use a lot of design based programmes - the main programme I used to design our invites is called Adobe Indesign and I worked up the floral graphic myself along the bottom in Adobe illustrator. If you are a dab hand at computers or have a creative flare you could do a google search for a free trial download of this software - I work only off iMac but you can get versions for PC too. Also if you are PC based the newest MS Word software has started to become more design friendly and you could start off with one of their templates and then tweak and add things to it as you please. As you mentioned app I presume you have a smartphone, so I just took a quick look there in the Apple App Store and came across an App called "Templates for Pages" which seem to have a huge variety of different initial templates that you can work on to make your own - I can see from the screenshot that there is a specific invitation section aswell. I hope this is of some help and if you need anything further don't hesitate to ask - think we are all here to help/advise each other - must say find this a great site and forum and have always found it so informative so just glad to help others.

Sorry bluefish were you able to Find that image in your colours or did you have to change colours yourself?

[BluefishJD]

Hey Dec2012 - just checked there and yes it came through - just at work at moment but will PM you back as soon as I can.

Hi Sadlier86 - I found it in shades of green and once i downloaded the original file I was able to edit it so I just introduced in more of our chosen "Lime Green" color as to tie it in more with overall design - again I was able to do this using the illustrator software I have on my iMac.
